Throughout the French territory

During the next 3 years (extendable to 5), ELECTREN will carry out electrical protection installation work, grounding for safe execution of work on the lines, as well as the relocation of the catenary to ensure its correct position with respect to the line.

Each night our employees will have to place up to 100 grounding protections in order to facilitate the work of Meccoli relocating the line, which will be a challenge requiring agility and coordination. This is a very frequently used Suite Rapide line with area lines of 1500 V in AC and 2×25 kV in DC. After the initial work at the beginning of the year on the Miramás or L’Estaque Line, specifically between La Valdue and Martigues (near Marseilles), work now continues on the Lyon-Perraché section, via Grenoble.

The work is carried out as part of an agreement of the French construction company MECCOLI, one of the most important contract winners for work on the railway infrastructure in France and the main contractor for maintenance work and track renewal.
